Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

A carbon rod with a radius of 1.9 mm is used to make a resistor. What length of the carbon rod should be used to make a 3.7 Ω re
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Length = 2.32 m

Explanation:

Let the length required be 'L'.

Given:

Resistance of the resistor (R) = 3.7 Ω

Radius of the rod (r) = 1.9 mm = 0.0019 m [1 mm = 0.001 m]

Resistivity of the material of rod (ρ) = 1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m

First, let us find the area of the circular rod.

Area is given as:

A=\pi r^2=3.14\times (0.0019)^2=1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2

Now, the resistance of the material is given by the formula:

R=\rho( \frac{L}{A})

Express this in terms of 'L'. This gives,

\rho\times L=R\times A\\\\L=\frac{R\times A}{\rho}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for length 'L'. This gives,

L=\frac{3.7\ \Omega\times 1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2}{1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m}\\\\L=\frac{4.181}{1.8}=2.32\ m

Therefore, the length of the material required to make a resistor of 3.7 Ω is 2.32 m.
